Magnolia Market or bust!

November 21, 2017 By Tamera Alexander

Kelsey and I are planning a Waco Road Trip for 2018 to visit Magnolia Market, and I recently polled Facebook friends who've been to Waco for their "must sees, must dos, and must eats!"

Thanks a Lot!

November 20, 2017 By Lynn Austin

Two more chapters to write and I will be able to type those wonderful words—THE END. The novel I’ve been laboring on for nearly a year is almost finished.

The Sign of a Dream Come True

November 14, 2017 By Julie Klassen

I’ve said it before, but I love libraries of all sorts. Not only because I am a book lover, but because one of the ways I supported myself during my college years was by working in the university library. I still vividly remember pushing my shelving cart through all those aisles of books, thinking, If only I could have a book I’ve written in a library someday! Well, God is good and that dream has … [Read more...]
